3. ABOUT NORTHSHORE
History
LAVC – NorthShore
What is NS now?
A place for players and coaches in Northern Michigan to take steps in the journey of becoming their best possible self.
Vision
Where do I see NS In 3-5 years?

4. Coaching Development Shortage of quality coaches in NM!
NorthShore’s role
Coaching clinics
Online subscription resources
Group messaging
NS has an open door to area coaches to see what/why/how we do what we do.

5. Philosophies
Training – High intensity, minimal waiting, honest feedback, teammate and coach accountability
Competing – Play teams that are better than us. Losing? So what…
Mistakes – Thank the VB Gods! Mistakes are an opportunity to learn. We will FAIL FORWARD. Never punishment for losing or mistakes, etc.
